Wagner Stempel, Siefersheimer Riesling Vom Porphyr, Rheinhessen

Excellent wine! Minerals, lemon, honey and pear.

2024 vintage

Apricot, lemon, apple paired with beautiful acitidy. Lovely and approachable. Very good value.

2024 vintage

Nice nose with some petroleum, apricot and citrus. Clear aged notes but still fresh and complex. Initially a hint of cured meat (reduction?). Full body, good acidity despite the warm vintage and long finish.

2018 vintage

Color: light yellow. Faint but fresh notes in the nose. Taste: a bit of apple-fruit with a firm steely-mineral-acidic backbone, with a good balance. Still has some time to go. 88-89.

2018 vintage

In der Nase sehr zitrisch mit viel Zitronenfilet und auch Zeste. Mit Luft auch deutlich Blutorange, typisch für das Weingut. Dazu sehr hell steinfruchtig und auch sehr blumig-floral mit viel Jasmin. Am Gaumen einerseits nach wie vor recht trocken, andererseits auch recht übrig und ausladend. Sehr gute, zuggebende Säure, allerdings auch hier leicht zitronig. Der Wein hat einen schönen Biss, auch am Gaumen gute Frucht und ist insgesamt sehr saftig. Guter Abgang, recht lang. Vor ein paar Monaten fand ich …

2018 vintage

In der Nase war das sicher mal bis zum Gehtnichmehr spontan und reduktiv. Jetzt etwas zurückgenommen mit jedoch noch sehr deutlichen Andeutungen daran. Dazu recht viel reifes helles Steinobst, etwas Blutorange mit Zesten und auch deutlich zitrisch und hell-kräutrig, vielleicht wie Zitronenmelisse. Am Gaumen sehr trocken, unglaublich griffig und pikant in seiner Mineralik mit sehr beissbarer Haptik. Der Wein ist sehr dezent in seiner Säure, allerdings macht das trotzdem viel Spaß und ist sehr spannend. Durchaus lang und auch im …

From a 0,75 l. bottle. No formal notes. 88(-89).

2018 vintage

From a 0,375 l. bottle. Like earlier tasting notes, but a bit less impressive; because of the match with the haddock with rather strong musterdsauce we had with it? Today 88.

2018 vintage

From a 0,375 l. bottle. About the same notes as two months ago. 90

2018 vintage

From a 37,5 cl bottle. No formal notes. Excellent wine, ready to be drunk, but still might get more open and gain balance with keeping. 90-91.

2018 vintage

True to its name, this wine is all about its mineral characteristics. Though there is some fruit, with grapefruit rind, green apple; lemongrass and some flint smoke. Puckering and prickly acid that initially hits the very tip of the tongue a bit like pop rocks. On the palate it is intensely mineral and salty, with a broad and enjoyably grippy mid palate. Initially the finish tended to fall off harshly, but with about 40 minutes of air that transition moved …

PnP. Pale metallic yellow. Generous mineral driven Riesling bouquet. Harmonious dry palate, m-B, hA, well balanced finish. Drink now-2027

2018 vintage

7.5/10 - typical riesling. nothing wrong with is, but not particularly memorable

2018 vintage

2019 besser. Trotzdem gut, Stoffig, länge. Hat Anke gut geschmeckt. Kommt über die Säure

2018 vintage

PnP then drunk over two evenings, no TN, from memory. This was absolutely singing. Very expressive nose of mature Riesling, beginning to be tertiary, but still very lively. A mix of petrol, decaying leaves, and a sensation of spicy sweetness as if from a fine gingerbread. The palate is remarkably concentrated and intense, but not at all heavy, with a deep mineral core. We drank it with a marinated steak, and it didn't have a problem to stand its ground. …

2008 vintage

Popped and poured. Deep golden yellow color. Bright and clear. On nose - apricot, honey, a little petrol. On palate, wine is sound. Good acid backbone. Some residual sugar but not "sweet" per se. Palate echoes nose really nicely, with a good round mouthfeel, and maybe a little more spice-forward. An excellent wine! So glad I was able to purchase this.

2008 vintage

not blind Passionfruit, pineapple, a bit too sweet in the finish, I prefer the 2016. 90

2018 vintage

Fruit: peach, apricot Acidity: high Sweetness: off-dry at 18g Concentration: Low/medium Conclusion: Good quality typical riesling, lacking fruit concentration and elegance

Wagner-Stempel Heerkretz 2007 - 2018 (Restaurant Vineum, Rotterdam) : Smoky, nutty and savoury with grapefruit and mature citrus.

2008 vintage

Fantastic wine. So much density but still elegant and refined. Developing nicely, but will likely keep improving for years.

2008 vintage

Wow - powerpacked riesling with much evolution and loads of petrolium notes - almost too much of a good thing. Not for the faint heartet.

2008 vintage

Really good , But have enjoyed the 2006 and 2007 more.

2008 vintage

Beautiful light golden yellow, clear. Complex nose and evolved in an interesting way over three days. Apples and pears and tea leaves. On day three it went more towards citrus fruit and a balsamic touch (basil and mint). On the palate I found it quite viscous and a bit tiring to drink, but the acidity kicked in on the finish. It found a much better balance on day three, less thick, fresher and with salinity and lemon zest more on …

2008 vintage

Inviting nose of sweet perfumed grapes. Off-dry with med-high acidity. Some candied fruits. cRv

2008 vintage

Der 2008er Siefersheimer Herrkretz ht (reife) grüne und kräutrige Noten. Er ist so etwas wie die ungezogene kleinere Schwester des hübschen 2007ers, etwas dreckiger, etwas kühler aber eben so gar nicht weniger attraktiv.

2008 vintage

There are some of the typical Heerkretz aromas and the palate is flavourfull, but quite tart. Like the 2007, this is going through a fase where it is very closed and reductive. Unfortunately, I dont sense the same intensity in this as I did in the 2007. Drink the 2006 (or younger) while you wait for this (and the 2007) to come around. The Hollbergs seem to open up earlier as well.

2008 vintage

Litt uren nese, funky i munnen også. Ikke optimal.

2008 vintage

Very dense, fine acid structure, very mineraly. Great terroir-Riesling! Good length, it is simply fun to enjoy this wine's minerality. At the beginning, right after the bottle was openend, the wine shows a distinct petrol aroma. This recedes a bit after the bottle has been open for a while. I would suggest to drink the wine now because there simple is no point in keeping it any longer.

2008 vintage

This wine is ridiculous in terms of acidity. While awesome now, I will need to wait with the remaining bottles for another 10 years. This will be absolutely legendary!

2008 vintage

Very high minerality and a strong hint of apple and some petrol. The acidity is very strong and powerful making the wine very fresh.

2008 vintage

High accidity. Dry, with a hint of sweetness enhanced by fruit. Lemon and apple. Medium minus consentration. Good wine, but not the crisp elegance of the 2007.

2008 vintage

I was almost knocked of the chair by this wine. The nose is gorgeous with lots of wonderful fruit as green apples, dried apricots and fresh lime. Good harmony between sweet and sour fruit! Big taste, rich and fruity attack on the tongue and a medium long bitterlike finish. Serve it now well chilled and enjoy a fine riesling! I would give it a higher score if the finish was better and it had more complexity.

2008 vintage

UWS 2010-01 (@ JB) : Very special wine. Enormously concentrated. Enormous amount of sweetness, but also acidity. At this moment the acidity is dominant in this wine. I wonder how this will age. Will be ok in 15 years from now, but if it will really improve, I wonder. For the pleasure it delivers now only 88.
